Did I Ruin It? Rotten 1967 Camaro Gets New Wheels And A New Purpose? 

I dig it

​@@DDSpeedShopum..dude..your style is weird cool hood scoops . You've changed . 💥⚡⭐. Lol

Dani!!!….who’s the music from that you play for time laps

Cowl's on Camaros and the teardrop blister on Ford's mustang and Fairlanes...

Years ago I had one come in with a bent hood with the chrome louvers, we replaced it with a cowl hood and grafted in the louvers... it was f'n beautiful. Now you can buy em that way. The cowl hood does look great on early camaros

hooligan, that's a cool story. You basically made the icing on the cake. "How much glue, All of it"You are a minty friend.👌

Thanks buddy!

​@@DDSpeedShop, Somewhere in these comments a guy was talking about the 1967 Black Panther Camaro built in Canada at a 3 story dealership and only less than 50 were produced. After I watched this video it came up in a Short. Check this out. ru-vid.com6GYaEmWwkC0?si=kd5Yqw2eWDFB6bXm

That is exactly why the panel maker does not make it perfect. They figure 99% of the customers will add a spoiler.

Hehe

I came here to say the same thing.

I think Dan should hold a vote for the spoiler like he did for the front bumper on Danny’s car 😂

You hit that nail right on the head!

Body working tools haha

​@@DDSpeedShopyou should do a black panther clone just throwing that out there 🤷🏻‍♂️

And don't forget--Schmoo! 😆

​@@DDSpeedShop Besides the great work, Cool tunes DD speed shop.

@@StanfillStudiosYea in 1967 they were probably a $ 39.00 option.

Actually, uh, no. 15" wheels have been the largest wheels used on American cars like forever, all the way back to the '30s. Drag slicks and drag radials are commonly 15". One of the cars I built was a 1978 Camaro. I put 275/60-15s in the back on 15x8 wheels, and 225/70-14s on the front on 14x6 wheels. For those that don't know, Z28 Camaros came stock with 15" wheels, base models, LTs, etc. came with 14" wheels. Pretty much all late model cars come with full GHETTOS, like 19s and 21s. These originated in the ghettos, where pimps, drug dealers, gang members, and other criminals with financial means started putting them on their cars as status symbols. Then somehow, like baggy pants, these abominations found their way from the ghettos into mainstream society. Not only are they disgustingly ugly, but they are downright dangerous. Tires that go on these reehuums (in ghetto speak) don't have enough sidewall to support the vehicle. There have been a lot of accidents, some of them fatal, in my state on bad roads, where potholes destroyed these tires with 1" sidewalls and broke the wheels into little pieces. 15" is the max size, both for looks and safety, unless you are talking about an 18 wheeler or other large commercial truck. A 1977 Lincoln Mark V that I once owned, for less than a year, which was a HUGE car, over 19 feet long and more than 2.5 tons, had 15" wheels with real tires with sidewalls on them. Whitewalls no less. They worked fine.

I hear ya man!

nearpar, I am also guilty of buying overeseas replacement parts and they line up close enough yet Dan is having to do all this work to the quarters because of a inferior product that you would think it's a quality replacement parts. The whole goal is not to have body filler on new quarter panels. I would us brazing rod or melt some wheel weights to fill in the imperfections of such patches. I know that metalsmithing is very time consuming and a dieing art yet less body filler that we all have to use for the final result for daily drivers. Yet this is a first gen"Camaro". You are right in your comment. Yet im glad that Dan is showing us how to deal with the tweaking of non factory US steel. 👌

Tong Yang = fits like socks on a rooster and you can throw a dead cat thru those gaps 😬

Decklids are supposed to be same with or without a spoiler

​@@tkracing5875I will take " Mounting a spoiler on a 1967 Camaro and are there mounting holes involved? " For a thousand Alex.

Thanks buddy!

Everyone else knows best haha

Yet driving a Camaro on the street, highway or a long windy road is really a treat full of enjoyment. They are made to hug the curves and fast going straight. I miss my 1970 1/2 . Many great illegal memories. Plus they suxk in the backseat department getting some. lol remember that do it in a Corvette if you can? Chevy well we built this Camaro with a back seat 😂

Haha same
